The Salmon are jumping and those Southern Resident Orca are a biting. It is all action out there in these productive waters of the Salish Sea. Our Capt Shaun and crew took the 12.15pm Ocean Magic on Sunday August 30th, over to San Juan Island where members of J pod were actively foraging. They were traveling up and down the west side of San Juan Island close to Lime Kilm Ecological Reserve. A surprise Orca breach off the park delighted the guests on board. We watched J 27 and J 30, two J pod male Orca traveling along the shore line. Other interesting wildlife seen on this trip were Dall's Porpoise and rafts of many Sooty Shearwaters, a sea bird migrating through this area in unusually large numbers.It was another fantastic trip with 'Prince of Whales'.
